Dear Paul,

Getting a guilty verdict for a police officer is
very rare in the United States and until recently
it hardly ever happened. But it looks like things
are changing slowly but surely.

In the George Floyd case a United States jury has
found former police officer Derek Chauvin guilty
of the murder of George Floyd. Police officers
also testified and the jury was made up of six
white people and six black or multi-racial
people. We still don't know what the sentence will
be - but perhaps justice will be at least seen to
be done for all concerned.

It is a sad state of affairs when things get so out
of hand as it appears to have done in this case.
But there is hope that no one should be above the
law - no matter who they are.

rioting by BLM and other Commos would break out again if the cop wasn't found guilty.
ttbn,
There was never a more guaranteed prediction in the history of Mankind !
Since the this verdict however, it should be legislated as a criminal offence for anyone deliberately creating a resisting arrest scenario with intent to cause a society-dividing situation as was the case with Floyd & Chauvin.

So I hear Black Leaders say that Derek Chauvin now in prison, that Black inmates will take his life. This is American justice, so the justice system means zero as the races threaten each other.

The head of the Minneapolis police union says George Floyd’s “violent criminal history” needs to be remembered and that the protests over his death are the work of BLM a “terrorist movement.”

“What is not being told is the violent criminal history of George Floyd. The media will not air this,” police union president Bob Kroll told his members in a letter posted Monday on Twitter.

Floyd had landed five years behind bars in 2009 for an assault and robbery two years earlier, and before that, had been convicted of charges ranging from theft with a firearm to drugs, the Daily Mail reported.

When he was arrested he was purchasing with counterfeit $20 bills, when the shop staff called police.

In the ideal POLICE STATE of Proud Boy Jose'. If you have been convicted of a crime years beforehand and you're black, years later a white black hating cop in uniform, following a call from the public about an alleged crime which may or may not have taken place, can justifiably come along and murder the said black man in the name of crime prevention and justice for white folk. Who said BLACK PEOPLE should fear the good white officers of law enforcement?

Prod Boy Jose' maybe you should be leading the charge to right this terrible wrong. There are a few rednecks on the forum who you should take along with you.

Paul1405,
We've given you quite a few inches by now but you have no qualms taking mile after mile !
How many BLM qualifying incidents have you orchestrated in your time ?

Hi Paul,

The following link is worth a read. It explains
the problems that America has faced and is still facing
over its long history of police brutality.

We lived in Los Angeles for close to ten years. We
worked and travelled all over the country and saw many
things first-hand that were disturbing. A relative of
ours joined the Los Angeles Police Department ( LAPD),
and the changes that came over him were hard to watch.
His hair turned white, he ended up working with young
kids - and received a medal of valour for saving a
man's life out of a building fire. However, it ended
sadly for this police officer. He died of a heart condition
leaving a devastated family. It was a tough path he had
chosen.
